Good post.
I was wondering though if the problem were not a little more basic than that: most young people just don't read, and it's the young ones who tend to buy gadgets.
That's an oversimplification, but I've asked on a few other forums what people are reading at the moment and been met with the equivalent of a blank stare by anyone under 30.
I got into the reading habit when I was young long ago. And I know how fulfilling it can be compared with the evanescent joys of MP3s, MP4s and the like. But today's generation don't seem to have done that.
I'm prepared to be shot down by all the 16 year olds on this forum, but if people don't want/like to read, then a great new reading device will never be popular. It's a great pity, but that's my thinking anyway.
